Simple Paper Lanterns

Paper lanterns are made in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are made for different uses. The simplest type of paper lantern is just a bag with a candle in it. This type of lantern is often seen on porches and driveways during Halloween. It is also seen lining the same areas during Christmas time in Spain. This type of paper lantern is particularly dangerous, because it is easily knocked over; this can start a fire. They are not safe around small children, because there is an open flame inside, so children can be easily burnt if they touch the candles.
